If DISC-BASED games vanished off the face of the Earth, who wins System Wars?

So there's no Halo, Gears of War, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, or Modern Warefare 2.

But there is PS Store games, XBL Marketplace games, and Wii store games.
So, based off downloadable games and the capabilities of systems other than disc-based games (movies can still work), who wins System Wars?

The DS.

If the PC doesn't apply, then the Wii wins. (Virtual Console)

pc lol

Console-wise XBL by far.

PC ;)

Definitely PC, if just consoles then Wii because of the VC.

The PS3 is winning the poll! Fanboys... The PC would obviously win.

PC, Wii, and DS. Those just happen to be my favorite systems :)

i think may be sony , coz it shows high intrests in downlodable games and digital distribution ............. but i dun know.2mrw

steam... or is that a taboo word around here?

The PC, because pretty much all of its disc based games are available for download, as well as its stellar library of downloadable titles.

Then the DS, because its games come on cards and not discs.

No no no no no. OnLive wins... I saw an demo for this thing on some website and it looked amazing.

Well, this is different kind of league

I gotta say 360 because you can still get the full games on the games on demand, as well as last gen games.

But the PS3 has all those PS1 classics and some really good PSN titles.

And the Wii has VC which is filled to the brim with some of gaming history's best.

Its a very close race to be sure. Each of the downloadable services offer some really great and different stuff, which is excellent to see and play, it's be hard for me to decide on if I actually had to choose just one.

Diffidently PC because of Steam.

Virtual console, therefore Wii wins.

No no no no no. OnLive wins... I saw an demo for this thing on some website and it looked amazing.

That's the first time I've actually seen anything about OnLive. Its pretty freakin sweet.

PC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii Ware + Virtual Console > PSN Downloads >>>> Xbox Live Arcade.

The genesis

VC wins for sure

Not including PC which has nearly every game ever i'd say it's a toss between Live and Wiiware.

PSN has a few decent titles too. but none that i'd compare to the best of Live or Wiiware

wii

PC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii Ware + Virtual Console > PSN Downloads >>>> Xbox Live Arcade.

Someone doesn't know that there are more games available on XBL than just the arcade games....

If every gaming system PC

If forcing consoles only 360 wins then Wii

Handhelds PSP and iPod Touch/iPhone

Steam wins

Poll fails for lack of Steam.

Also TC, Gears is onGames on Demandnow...

The Wii because of the Virtual Console and WiiWare service.

though I haven't payed much attention to the Xbox Live Service either.

This is how I see it.

PC>Wii>360>PS3

Reason why the PS3 is last? It gets the games the 360 gets later and the 360 has Banjo Kazooie/Tooie and Perfect Dark.

Steam if all systems. If console only i'd have to say PS3 and PSP take the gold.

PSN can expand to be just like steam (and earlySteam was pretty much PSN as it is right now). Wifi and Live i can't really see expanding more. Take Microsfts failed GFWL (Games for Windows Live) for example, its so bad that the mouse icon isin't were the page shows it (example: you could have it on the sign in button but the program will reconize it on the exit button.), not to mention pc devs are avoiding it like the plague! Now this program is very similar to Xbox live (it used to have a subscription too!) and i find that xbox live dosen't have the room to expand as quickly as PSN.

Wifi would be alright but i think Nintendo wouldn't handle it right in the first view months (relasing patches that would fix things, but break others) but nintendo would survive it but would suffer greatly in the first year.

PSP has proven that handheld devices can use DD but i think it could be improved a little bit (maybe add an ethernet cable slot if no wireless network is around?). The DS would be ill equiped to fight sony on that front imo, but nintendo has proven resliliant in the handheld market too.

Pc.... yay I win. SAGE_OF_FIRE

The DS.
